Sam breaks his own club record

Sam Clifton (coach Jeremy Clifton) showed that hammer throwing at the club is in rude health by breaking his own club record with a throw of 49.03m at the University of Birmingham Winter throws meet on Saturday. This is an absolute club record (any age group) and any time these are broken is a reason to celebrate.This was Sam's only valid throw of a 6 throw series, and I am reliably informed he was a marginal foot foul away from a huge pb of 54m which will surely come later in the season with a bit of sun on his back.Sam is one of our highly valued first claim athletes away at University and will be throwing in the National Athletics League as a higher claim athlete for Sale Harriers this season but retains first claim membership to enable him to compete for WADAC in the SAL and in championship events.
